I tried like three times to daily drive linux before it finally stuck.

Three steps for me.

  1. Linux on a laptop
  2. Dual boot on my main pc.
  3. Full switch done in spite after windows nuked my linux partition.

My steps:

  1. Think about dual-booting
  2. Try to install Nobara as dual-boot
  3. Fuck up Windows install
  4. Too lazy to reinstall Windows
  5. ???
  6. Now own Steam Deck, have old ThinkPad and PC running Fedora

Me too. My final reason to not go back to windows was that I realized I didn't actually really care for the games I played with restrictive anti cheat and was only playing them because they were popular.

Now I just play games that I consciously acknowledge I'm enjoying playing, and that has been great for mental health as well.

This is the way.

I've been playing with Linux for almost 20 years and only wiped my windows partition maybe 2 years ago. I figured I can run a windows VM on my Proxmox rig, but I haven't had the need to yet (probably helps that I'm not big into gaming).

  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
